Forget coffee. I'm starting my day drinking the salty tears of drivers in Salisbury who are shocked - SHOCKED! - to learn that the consequences of their bad driving are in fact theirs to pay for. #motonormativity www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08...

It’s astonishing Wimbledon insists on deploying large SUVs in our crowded capital despite excellent public transport and mounting evidence of the danger to children. Why can't guests use more normal sized cars and/or the tube like most Londoners? #carspreading www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/a...

It was a pleasure to write this guest blog for Parents 4 Future Scotland. Ending the SUV arms race and creating safer, fairer streets for us and our kids is a personal and professional fight for me as a parent.

Colchester council spaffing £1 million to widen parking spaces makes very clear how massive SUVs are only possible thanks to public subsidies. Those inside enjoy their heated seats whilst those outside pay for the parking spaces, air pollution, road danger... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What Labour's "growth" really means: pulling aid from foreign countries and bombing them instead. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Fantastic to see Norwich council considering higher parking charges for SUVs. Bigger, heavier SUVs are more dangerous, more polluting and more damaging to the road surface than smaller cars. It's only fair that they should pay more. www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/2490844...

A man who previously used his SUV as a weapon is now on trial for using his SUV to murder someone. Hard to see this story playing out with a Fiat Punto. SUVs are inherently violent machines and have no place on our streets. www.essexlive.news/news/essex-n...

This is drop off at a primary school in South East London. At the same time, 75% of primary pupils and 90% of secondary pupils are travelling sustainably to London schools. Can they safely walk/cycle their journeys with cars this size driving past? Check out: www.suv-alliance.org.uk

Maybe a vehicle that can mount another vehicle should be subject to some kind of regulation before being driven in the millions on our streets? www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/n...

Anyone describing a car as a "weapon" should have their licence immediately and permanently revoked.

The Netherlands has eradicated potholes. So why can't the UK do the same? The answer lies in how our two countries tax new vehicles. In NL, vehicles are taxed on their weight, so heavy SUVs pay more. In UK massive SUVs pay no more tax than small hatchbacks. www.telegraph.co.uk/money/nether...

Slow clap for everyone who voted Labour in the last election thinking it would bring positive change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...

Large, polluting, dangerous SUVs are taking over our streets. But there is an alternative… The SUV Alliance are taking action with their 5-point manifesto for safer, fairer streets, without SUVs. suv-alliance.org.uk #SaferStreets #FairerStreets #WithoutSUVs

The driver in the Wimbledon school crash has been re-arrested 😮 To read this on the same day that we launch the SUV Alliance and manifesto reminds me of the importance of removing massive SUVs from our streets and the tragic consequences if we fail to act. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The SUV Alliance campaigns for safer, fairer streets without SUVs. We want a future of public transport, active travel and small EVs - not big, heavy, dangerous, polluting SUVs. Our 5-point manifesto is the start of a journey towards this future. Find out more at suv-alliance.org.uk

Well that's OK then.

I'm so proud of series 1 of Better Without Billboards, and equally excited for series 2 (coming to a podcast app near you soon!) Listen now to conversations with the fantastic @carladenyer.bsky.social, @darrencullen.bsky.social, @playingout.bsky.social, @cllrbenparker.bsky.social and more....

"Over the last three electoral cycles, Toyota has become the top auto industry financier of climate deniers. It has helped to finance campaigns of 207 climate-denying congressional candidates." So much for being the auto industry's 'green leader' 😅 www.citizen.org/article/driv...

Very proud of my colleagues today for a fantastic win against greenwash ads 🎉✊ But this is just the tip of the iceberg. We see ads like these everyday and regulation is just too slow. That's why we're calling for an end to fossil fuel advertising. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Set fire to a police van: 14 years Set fire to a hotel full of asylum seekers: 9 years. Neither of these is acceptable, but the difference in sentencing speaks volumes about which lives are considered worth protecting and whose aren't.

Great podcast from Green Alliance on the green shift in UK transport policy. There are some good sounds coming from Labour about decarbonisation, integrated transport and electrification, but also several red flags. This ep unpacks it all! Listen now: green-alliance.org.uk/podcast/chan...

Cardiff to consider increased parking charges for SUVs 🙌 It's right that they should. They take up more space, are more polluting, and wildly more dangerous to other road users. Great to see the start of a wave against these weaponised cars ✊ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Whether it's the school run, a family holiday, or simply mowing down a few of the neighbour's kids, these family SUVs can do it all..." SUVs are 8 times more likely to kill a child than a small car in a collision. These are not "family cars". They are weapons. www.whatcar.com/news/best-fa...

Paris council requests powers to ban SUVs from urban areas! This is world-leading stuff and the start of a movement against stupid, dangerous, polluting #SUVs ✊ Which UK city will be the first to follow? eutoday.net/paris-calls-...

Ads saying the quiet part out loud. Advertising - and consumerism generally - is a project to replace relationships between people with dependence on things.

Petition to end fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship is nearly at 10,000 signatures! Please take 2 minutes to add your name now 💚 Sign here --> lnkd.in/e_SWHZwU Fossil fuels are now arguably a more pressing health threat than smoking. So why don't we respond in the same way?

Very frustrating that Bristol Council have approved a new digital billboard, despite massive opposition. What is the point of a planning system that puts absolutely zero weight on local people's views? We need change. Agree? Head to actionnetwork.org/letters/bett...

Expanding an airport in a climate crisis is an act of sociopathic violence. Let us resist this. Follow Bristol Airport Action Network for more: bristolairportactionnetwork.wordpress.com

Huge for @chrisgpackham.bsky.social to call for a fossil fuel ad ban! 🙌 This is something @adfreecities.bsky.social and @badvertising.bsky.social have been pushing for years. Watch Chris here: www.instagram.com/reel/DCrECUJ... And sign the petition here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

If you were still in doubt about how truly obscene it is to be a billionaire, consider this.... You could have won *every single* National Lottery draw since its launch in 1994, and you still wouldn't have as much money as the world's wealthiest people. www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/news/the-nat...

Huge new report from @neweconomics.bsky.social on car dependency in England. The report makes clear something we all know is true: new housing developments are not adequately connected to reliable and accessible public transport. neweconomics.org/uploads/file...

The phrase "best of both worlds" is being used to advertise hybrid cars - those that use an electric motor and petrol engine. Hybrids are powered by fossil fuels and still pollute from the exhaust. Ads like this are deeply misleading, but the ad regulator won't act 😡

Hello Bluesky 👋 Follow my account for 1. SUV hate 2. Misc.

Great to hear Transport Sec Louise Haigh talking about road safety and how road deaths are treated as some kind of natural disaster, rather than a flaw in the system. I look forward to seeing how the new Road Safety Strategy develops. But we need to talk about the elephant in the room: SUVs....
